Database Record Erasure

Ensure that you are able to remove personal records and all their copies from all your databases as soon as your right to hold them expires

Simple, quick and easy

Intelligently seeks out relevant records across your entire network

Full assurance that all copies of personal records are removed

How confident are you that you can remove personal data from your entire system?

An area of data privacy that is too often forgotten is that of data erasure. This may be triggered by data no longer being legitimately allowed to be held, or a data subject’s request that their data is removed from your systems.

This is not only a question of acting appropriately fast, but also thoroughly. For many organisations, unsubscribe options and marketing preference portals are the fullest extent of their capabilities.

But this is not thorough enough. It addresses neither the data legitimacy to be held, nor a data subject’s true wishes to be forgotten, and nor is it technically compliant with data privacy legislation. Mechanisms that prevent the business from using the data are not the same as entire, organisation-wide removal of a data subject’s records when legitimately requested.

Complete assurance

Calligo provides a unique database deletion tool that allows organisations to fulfil these requests with absolute confidence that no records remain within any of their database systems.

Retrieve

On receipt of a data removal request or a notification that a record’s legitimacy has expired, the tool uses a data map, created bespoke for each organisation, to seek out the data record and all its copies.

Remove

When found, the data is then deleted or rendered no longer identifiable, fulfilling the data regulations or subject’s request and giving the organisation complete assurance of its legislative compliance.

Privacy Shield is an EU-instigated unilateral agreement that obliges the US to protect the personal data of US citizens that came into force on 1 Aug 2016. It’s fair to say that since then, Privacy Shield has not been considered the lighthouse of data privacy law. The history of US corporate observance is far less…

Data privacy in the UK has hardly been a quiet topic in recent months, but there have been two news stories from the last few weeks of particular note. They are each remarkable individually.

Back in August, Brazil approved its General Data Protection Law (or the LGPD, standing for the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais in Portugese). It will come into effect in early 2020, echoing the approximate timeframe of the GDPR’s implementation period. In short, the LGPD is very similar to the GDPR. Not because of…
